Improved plugins/Xmpp/README
Added the relevant section in INSTALL about queues and daemons to get
the plugin runnig.
Made resource required, as otherwise XMPPHP will send invalid from JIDs
in it's stanzas. For example when my configuration didn't had the
resource part, outbound stanzas looked like this:
<message
from="gnusocial@example.de/"
to="flow@example.de"
type='chat'>
<body>
User "flow" on GNU Social has said that your
XMPP/Jabber/GTalk screenname belongs to them.
…
</body>
</message>
Note the '/' at the end of the from attribute, without an actual
XMPP resource. But according to RFC6122 2.1 "every allowable portion of
a JID MUST NOT be zero bytes in length". Causing a jid-malformed
response from the server.
Also, it's nice to know that debug=true will print out all sent and
received stanzas, which helped me to debug the problem.
Furthermore I add a note that if the XMPP services uses DNS SRV records,
'host' has to be configured (in cases where service host != xmpp domain).
Switch order of html/text for StatusNet backwards compatibility
StatusNet chooses the first content element in an Atom feed, while
it should really choose the 'html' representation for its 'rendered'
and 'text' representation for the (text-only) 'content'.
GNU social will implement a better algorithm for retrieving Atom
feeds, but that is yet to be done. So to avoid having link-less posts
on remote nodes, we'll just do the old switch-a-roo.
Other Atom readers, such as Mozilla Firefox, has the reverse priority
(choosing the last of the content elements).
Core and Default plugins separated, now loads on install
_flow_ reported on IRC that install.php had stopped working. This was
because default plugins had been put into two separate lists, and the
list with AuthCrypt was never loaded when performing an installation.
Core plugins cannot be disabled.
I also removed the Memcache autodetection thing since it should be
solved in a more elegant manner.
Nickname verifications on registration and updates for profiles (not yet
groups) have been improved.
Minor bugs in RegisterAction were also fixed, where multiple forms would
be outputed because the function did not return after showForm(). This
will be solved more permanently with throwing exceptions in the future.
I implemented changes from quitter.se's new API that their front-end qvitter
uses, https://github.com/hannesmannerheim/qvitter/blob/master/api-changes-1.1.1/CHANGES
However I left out the URL shortening commens, since I believe whatever behaviour
they experienced that caused them to implement this was a bug (or many) and should
be fixed in their proper areas and that shortening should not be entirely left
out in API calls.
Profile_prefs aims to consolidate all the profile preferences into a
single table. Otherwise we end up with a bajillion *_prefs classes, like
User_urlshortener_prefs, or new fields in existing User/Profile classes,
like 'urlshorteningservice', 'homepage', 'phone_number', 'pet_name' etc.
Eventually we should migrate as many user-settable preferences as we can
into this system.
The data in Profile_prefs is organized by:
* profile_id Identify the current Profile.
* namespace Which plugin/section the preference is for.
* topic Preference name (like 'homepage')
* data Preference data (like 'https://gnu.org/')
The names 'topic' and 'data' are because 'key' and 'value' may be rather
ambigous when dealing with our DB_DataObject classes etc.
Avatar resizing improvements and better code reuse
* getOriginal added to Avatar class
This is a static function that retrieves the original avatar in a leaner
way than Profile->getOriginalAvatar() did (see below).
This will throw an Exception if there was none to be found.
* getProfileAvatars added to Avatar class
This gets all Avatars from a profile and returns them in an array.
* newSize added to Avatar class
This will scale an original avatar or throw an Exception (originally from
Avatar::getOriginal) if one wasn't found.
* deleteFromProfile added to Avatar class
Deletes all avatars for a Profile. This makes the code much smarter when
removing all avatars from a user.
Previously only specific, hardcoded (through constants) sizes would be
deleted. If you ever changed lib/framework.php then many oddsized avatars
would remain with the old method.
* Migrated Profile class to new Avatar::getOriginal support
Profile class now uses Avatar::getOriginal through its own
$this->getOriginalAvatar and thus remains backwards compatible.
* Updating stock GNU Social to use Avatar::getOriginal
All places where core StatusNet code used the
$profile->getOriginalAvatar, it will now useAvatar::getOriginal with
proper error handling.
* Updated Profile class to use Avatar::newSize
When doing setOriginal, the scaling will be done with the new method
introduced in this merge.
This also edits the _fillAvatar function to avoid adding NULL values to
the array (which causes errors when attempting to access array entries as
objects). See issue #3478 at http://status.net/open-source/issues/3478
Implemented WebFinger and replaced our XRD with PEAR XML_XRD
New plugins:
* LRDD
LRDD implements client-side RFC6415 and RFC7033 resource descriptor
discovery procedures. I.e. LRDD, host-meta and WebFinger stuff.
OStatus and OpenID now depend on the LRDD plugin (XML_XRD).
* WebFinger
This plugin implements the server-side of RFC6415 and RFC7033. Note:
WebFinger technically doesn't handle XRD, but we serve both that and
JRD (JSON Resource Descriptor), depending on Accept header and one
ugly hack to check for old StatusNet installations.
WebFinger depends on LRDD.
We might make this even prettier by using Net_WebFinger, but it is not
currently RFC7033 compliant (no /.well-known/webfinger resource GETs).
Disabling the WebFinger plugin would effectively render your site non-
federated (which might be desired on a private site).
Disabling the LRDD plugin would make your site unable to do modern web
URI lookups (making life just a little bit harder).
Correctly distribute notices from remote posters through local groups to remote group-members via OStatus.
Allow the OStatus queue-handler to handle all posts,
and give it the smarts required to make correct decisions
about whether it should or shouldn't relay notices
over OStatus.
cf. http://status.net/open-source/issues/3540
Correct a logic-inverting typo in handling of replies to group-posts.
The typo causes a tautology, which makes replies to group-posts always (or almost-always) go to the group(s).
cf. http://status.net/open-source/issues/3638
Make paging work correctly in the user-directory
even with the default filter set (i.e.: `all' = `no filter', so intrepret `filter=all' as `no filter').
